Introducing Tuxedo

I am starting this blog because Tux is a great dog and deserves recognition!

On July 10, 2009 he became a dad and one of his sons will come to live with all of us once he is "of age". We are very excited to welcome the little one to our family.
As of today we aren't sure exactly which son we will take, but that's what this blog is about!
We will keep you posted on our decision and the process that we go through.
Tuxedo may have something to "say" about this, we'll see!

To start, Tux was whelped on May 1, 2005. His sire was the famous "Player" (AKC/ASCA CH Hi Desert Playing for Keeps) and his dam was "Callisto" (Callisto Hand Maiden of Selene). He was born in New Mexico, bred by Ralph Wintersberger of Tijeras.
Tux continues to make his home in Edgewood, NM and is co-owned by E. Vinogradov and S. Cooper of Sherbil's Kennel.

Tuxedo is an AKC Champion and is ASCA major pointed.
He is professionally handled by Sergio Espejo in the AKC Conformation ring and began his conformation career by taking Best of Winners and Best of Opposite over specials in an October, 2007 AKC show in Alamogordo, NM. In Tulsa, on November 3, 2007, he took his first 5 point AKC major. He got his second major 2 weeks later in Tucson. Tux finished his AKC CH in Big Spring, Texas on May 3, 2008 under Judge Alane L. Gomez. Between May 2008 and May 2009 he took 6 Best of Breed wins with Sergio Espejo! Way to go!


Tuxedo has been handled by Cameron Leopold, Kim Raleigh, Traci Galemore & Evelyn Vinogradov in the ASCA conformation ring. On March 9, 2008 he took his first ASCA major under AKC Judge Steve Schorr. In August, 2008 he took his 2nd ASCA major at the "3 Pines Ranch Classic". He got his 3rd Major Win on March 14, 2009. Needs just 2 minor pts to finish in ASCA.Tux is handled by Evelyn in the Obedience and Rally rings and has achieved his Rally Novice and CD titles.
